Description

Ingredients
•
12 ounces penne pasta
•
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast
•
3 teaspoons garlic powder, or to taste, divided
•
3 teaspoons Italian seasoning, divided
•
3 tablespoons olive oil
•
2 cups heavy cream
•
1 cup chicken broth
•
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
•
2 cups fresh spinach
•
1 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
Directions
1
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain and keep warm.
2
Season chicken breasts with 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder and 1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning, making sure both sides are coated.
3
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and no longer pink in the center, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Remove chicken to a plate and cut into strips or chunks.
4
Add cream, chicken broth, Parmesan cheese, remaining garlic powder, and Italian seasoning to the skillet. Whisk over medium heat until it begins to thicken, about 3 minutes. Add spinach and sun-dried tomatoes; simmer until spinach wilts and sauce reaches desired consistency, about 3 minutes more. Add chicken back to the skillet and cook until heated through.

Serve over pasta.
